You probably can't make 26 partitions anyway. Don't forget Windows assigns letters to the drives in the computer as well so you'd only have 24 at the most with no CD units and Drives A and B are reserved.

Under Windows you cannot have more than 26 drives because there are only 26 letters available. If you want more use Volume Mount Points, and this is how you make them, it's only available under XP and Server 2003 but I dare say Vista and Windows 7 should be capable too.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307889

You could probably mount it as described previously but it'll initially want to give it a drive letter which is normal Windows behaviour.
If truth be told, if you are using all 24 letters for what not, you may want to consider slimming it down a bit.

I'm just using A (Floppy), C (System Drive), D (Personal Drive) and E (CD-RW Drive). F is assigned when I insert a USB Drive.
